We have two children at nursery and they both love going, my son actually skips to nursery every morning! We love the amount of different activities they do such as painting, cooking, drawing and general playing. The outside area is great for playing football, going in the mud kitchen and riding the
small trikes. The staff are lovely and really care about each and every child. The nursery was great during lockdown last year and did zoom calls once or twice a day throughout. We would highly recommend this nursery to others.

My daughter has been going to Riverside since she was 8-months-old and I could thank the staff enough for the support they give her and me. She has worked her way through the different rooms for different ages, and they review her regularly and only progress her when they feel she’s ready. She is now
is pre-school and loves every minute of it and will be sad to leave when she goes to school.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

It is a really difficult decision where to leave ur child, but this nursery, hands down, have given me the confidence to know my child is safe, happy and well looked after. My daughter started at a year old.


My daughter’s allergies are well taken care of, and the staff are all brilliant. She is

now in pre-school and is learning loads!


I am very satisfied and would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking at childcare options.

Our daughter has thrived at Riverside. We’ve always felt complete trust in those that care for her. They have operated safely and with so much kindness and fun during the pandemic, which is a worrying time for any parent sending their child to a setting. The staff at Riverside are just wonderful. We
moved out of the immediate locality two years ago but have made the round trip 4-days a week since because we are so happy with how settled our daughter is.

My daughter loves going to the nursery. That says a lot, doesn’t it!
She is in a safe and happy environment with staff that care for the kids and aren’t scared to give them a hug when needed. Thank you to a great team.

My two boys started Riverside in January 2021.
The eldest was returning after a few months break (whilst I was on maternity leave). He was so excited to be returning to the nursery, and he settled back in really quickly and easily.
I was more nervous about my youngest starting, as it would be his
first time away from me at 10-months-old, and he also has a complex medical condition, which means that he has additional needs. The staff were fantastic and sat down with me for an in-depth meeting to discuss his needs, and they had already familiarized themselves with his medical condition and had put some extra provisions in place for him. I really feel that they went out of the way to accommodate his additional needs and never made me feel like it was any trouble. He is now happily settled in the younger baby room, and I feel completely confident that his needs are being catered for.
I would definitely recommend this nursery, especially if your child has additional needs.

My little boy is attending nursery since June 2019. He took so long to settle, and the carers were so patient with him, also his first language isn’t English, and his career always tried to teach him as much as she can, and hi English improved a lot. I’m so glad I choose this nursery. The management
team also is very helpful and patient with me and helps me a lot to use my voucher and free hours.
I highly recommend The Riverside.

Great nursery, our 2 boys (4 and 2) love it and would stay there even on weekend. They managed a very difficult period during covid and kept the staff, children and parents safe. They have plenty of activities every day, indoor and outdoor. Follow up on the development of the children closely. Very
convenient and flexible to support working parents. Definitely recommend it to any parents.

Simply outstanding from the faultless management to the amazing team. Throughout the lockdown and everyday life, they support you and your child no matter what. What more to say, just outstanding. You are lucky to be with them.

This is an outstanding nursery. We made the move to Riverside from another nursery, and our expectations have always been exceeded. The staff are so committed to the children, and the nursery is so creative in so many aspects of their care. Thank you, Riverside, for the many experiences given to our
little girl!

My daughter has been attending The Riverside Day Nursery from when she was 11-months-old. Today she is nearly 4, and she has enjoyed every stage of her nursery journey to the absolute maximum.
And here is why:
Everything starts with a great team, and they are truly epic: young, caring, loving, buzzing,
fun-loving, attentive and they have a very strong team bond! And as for every successful team, this one also goes back to outstanding management, who is totally aware, involved, attentive, assertive and strong.
The premises are fantastic with lots of indoor and outdoor space. Close proximity to the town centre allows for nice day trips. Today, for example, my daughter enjoyed a walk down to town to see and feed the ducks.
My child is buzzing every day at pick up. What more can a parent ask for!
Love it.

My son has been going to The Riverside Day Nursery since he was 8-months-old, and I have been extremely happy with his care. He absolutely loves all the girls and often talks about them when he’s at home. The regular updates via the app are excellent, and it’s great to see what our little one is up
to throughout the day. The children spend loads of time outside, in the garden and going out for walks to see the ducks. My little boy has a few allergies, and the nursery has always been very good at providing for his needs. During the pandemic, we have received constant updates and information on how they have adjusted the routine and increased cleaning to meet the current requirements. I have recommended this nursery to several friends, who also now send their children here, so I would absolutely recommend.

We are so happy with the level of care he has received at Riverside. He has improved greatly in so many ways since starting last August. The team are young, enthusiastic and always have a smile on their faces. Their excitement is contagious, and he always tells me of the fun they have had that day.
The outside space is fantastic and rare for any nursery to have, and that was one of the reasons we picked Riverside. The food menu looks delicious, and I’m very envious at times. I always feel reassured at drop off that he will have a fun-filled and educational day.

We have been so impressed with The Riverside nursery. Our daughter is so happy to go in each day; the staff are amazing, and really do go above and beyond. The communication is excellent; they give regular updates and send pictures throughout the day, which is so reassuring. I would highly recommend

The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic about each and every child. They are very attentive and brought her out of her shell, as well as developed many of the skills she uses at home.
Every day, my child comes out, she is so happy, excited and chatty to all of us. She is constantly stimulated
and tells me and her mum everything she has done that day, including the other children she played with.
I get many updates from the staff on their app, and they are very good at taking photos of the happy times my child has. They also take her care and safety seriously and have handled bumps and scuffles very well. Including ones that she has had at home.
The mixture of activities they have there is amazing, and I do love the fact that outside play is a big part of the nursery. Even in the cold and wet, my child is outside playing and enjoying herself or taking a nice walk with everyone else.
Overall, this has been a perfect find and match for my child, and I am very pleased she is there.

A beautiful nursery with absolutely amazing staff who show so much passion and care for the children. They make your child feel like they are their only priority and show so much interest in their development. Staff always keep parents updated via the app/in person and bring out the best in the children
and have certainly done so with our daughter. A lot of new skills learnt and happy memories made.
A very welcoming nursery with the utmost professionalism, adapted so well with Covid-19 to ensure everyone stays safe.
They offer a wide range of activities for the children from walks along the river to cook their own tasty treats, painting, outdoor play, and lots of singing and dancing (my daughters favourite). My daughter looks forward to going every week! Would recommend time and time again!

My daily treat is seeing the lovely pictures of my grandson enjoying his days at nursery and seeing him progressing so well. Everyone seems to have so much fun, staff included! I couldn’t wish for a more happy and encouraging place for my grandson to start his early years!

I was recommended this nursery by a friend who’s son is at The Riverside Day Nursery, and I can say, I wasn’t disappointed.
My son loves attending and always comes home full of stories from his day. He always enters and leaves with a smile on his face, which is extremely important to me.
Love how
we are always kept up to date on their day with lovely pictures through the app.
The staff are amazing and truly have the children safety and best interests at heart, which during these uncertain times, goes a long way.
Communication is great, and the staff always go above and beyond - credit to them all.

Our kids are so precious and vulnerable, so finding the best care for them is an uphill battle. Imagine my surprise when I called The Riverside Day Nursery and recognised the manager’s voice! It was such a relief, a breath of fresh air! Who would have imagined that 10-years later, my 3rd child would
be looked after by the same carer as her older siblings! My 16-year-old daughter spent her best years in their former nursery. Mum, this is our legacy were her words when she heard about Riverside nursery. 15-years later, I still have her nursery book.
My 11-year-old son has the best souvenirs as well, and I can recognise staff from his nursery book.
I am happy to share my experience and would like to say a big thank you to the whole team for all the peace of mind you are giving us while we are at work, away from our kids. Knowing they are loved and well looked after is a blessing. And we can follow their journey via the app, which is sunshine for us.
From the bottom of my heart: thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for The Riverside Day Nursery Windsor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.948 for The Riverside Day Nursery Windsor is calculated as follows: ( (332 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 348 Ratings = 4.948

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Riverside Day Nursery Windsor is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 52 number of registered child places is 10.4, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
